MSc Loss & Bereavement courses

About the Courses

The MSc Loss & Bereavement courses are Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) courses run in association with Irish Hospice Foundation (IHF). Through the programme, participants will gain practical strategies, theoretical insights, and professional competencies to better support patients, clients, employees, and the broader community in times of loss. This programme offers two distinct pathways:

MSc Loss & Bereavement (Clinical Practice): The clinical practice pathway is for those working therapeutically with bereaved people. Participants on this course will be mental health professionals, such as counsellors, psychotherapists, psychologists, and social workers.

MSc Loss & Bereavement: The second pathway is a general education route for participants who work in areas of bereavement care, including health, education, management, policy, and support.

For more details of the MSc Loss & Bereavement courses, please visit the course webpage or download the course brochure.

How to Apply

To apply for the MSc Loss & Bereavement and MSc Loss & Bereavement (Clinical Practice) commencing September 2025, please submit your application on the RCSI website. The application deadline is May 31, 2025.
